Episode 2
If the 1960s were sharp, the 1970s were soft, and the 1980s were everything in between, where did that leave us in the 1990s? Glasgow was experiencing a renaissance as the 1990 European City of Culture, but Scotland was no stranger to European exchanges. Between the two world wars, immigration to Scotland increased, including an Italian influx. Sharleen Spiteri reveals how it feels to be an Italian-Scot, and fashion designer Samantha McCoach - of Le Kilt - shares the secret of her success...her Italian grandmother, who taught her everything she knows about sewing.
